The Page Elements subtab of Layout (previously - Template) tab is used to Add and Arrange Page Elements. Since 12 Feb 2008 there have been no scrollbars in it. This causes the Page Elements on wider templates to disappear below the right edge and bloggers cannot access the Edit button on them. See picture below :

Thank you very much! This solved the problem which appeared when recently I tried to update my layout.

I encountered, however, a problem: after applying the changes the code was not accepted because of an undeclared variable ($startSide) error. Therefore I omitted the lines margin-$startSide: 0px;margin-$endSide: 0px;

The result is now probably not entirely what it should be, but at least the layout page problem is solved.

Well, I don´t understand the need of this change (from blogger, I suppose ) and the result isn´t as good as before (the bar widgets appear above the middle bar ones). And what seems worse: with IE it keeps working fine!

vince, this did not work for me. I am using the Denim template, I have the startSide and endSide variables, etc etc ... my template's width is 1110px. Could that be a problem? this concerns this blog: asitest.blogspot.com - it is a test site for some revisions I am working on for another blog which however cannot be "played with: as it gets a lot of traffic..

This is Howard again.Fix worked for one time only and then I'm back to frozen frame. I deleted and re-entered the codes. It worked one time only. I checked the HTML and the code was in there. I am emailing this to you also.

I've tried the above fixes and different variations of them. Nothing is working. I can see a maximum of 7 sidebar page elements on the page element page. When I first started using this template, I could see all of them. Only in the past two days have they been getting cutoff. Do you have any other ideas?

The template I'm using wasn't provided by Blogger (although its pretty basic) and some things I cannot change certain things (fonts and colors, email links for posts, turn on/off quickedit, stuff like that) via the interfaces provided, so I've been forced to learn XML as I go here.

HAving said that, I'm curious as to why would changing the width of the body affect the height? Probably an obvious answer, but as I said, I'm learning as I go...

hello VinI am having the same problem with my blogs at laketrees and PoeARTica..I am using the Tekka template which I have modified...any advice would be greatly appreciated...as I have tried all of the above thanks Kim

Till then try this : Click the Edit link on the last page element you can see. Popup window will open. Close it. Press Tab key on keyboard. The next Edit link will come into view. Press Tab key again to show next Page Element and so on repeat till the last Page element is seen.

Hi Vin. Thanks again for the Tab trick. It works for me while blogger fixes the problem.

I've noticed another problem when I try to delete widgets: I can create new widgets and modify existing ones, but when I want to remove one from FF, the delete button appears to do nothing and there isn't the normal confirmation window. From IE it works well. ¿Do you konw something about that?

hey, i tried to edit my html codes with others but i cant seem to do it coz it says 'Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The element type "head" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

hey Vin. i took a blogskin codes from blogskins.com and every html code i try, it says the same thing. my friends dont seem to have that problem.what am i supposed to do? i really want to change my blog skin

Vin gooday,Thanks for the good works you are doing.I've being having problem with the add page element-it is not showing up.I also create another blog but it is equally not displaying add page elemment. i tried the suggested code: body#layout #outer-wrapper { width:760px;margin-$startSide: 0px;margin-$endSide: 0px;} but all to no avail.I also ommitted the lines: margin-$startSide: 0px;margin-$endSide: 0px;} leaving only: body#layout #outer-wrapper { width:760px;but all prove abortive. What do i do.ThanksShina
